THE WISH OF THE LEAF.
A Fable.

"A L ooAOe
ITO be bird-ah me!'
The Leaf sighed on the tree:
What happy, happy fate,
To glide upon the air
Der regions free and fair.
~ And chant at Heavens Gate.
Ell could be bird,
With sunny heartstrings stirred
To beat the jocund air
With pulse intense to fly
Into the purple sky,
I'd make my life prayer"
"Oh, envving Leaf, beware!
Already Joys full share
Lies in thine own true part:
Gently thy developed song,
Murmuring the day long,
Cheereth the fainting heart"
This was the Trees reproof;
Suiien. the Leaf aloof
I'D be bird" still sighed.
A laughing Gale passed by
''rll teach the Leaf to fly,
And over space to ride"
Now broken from the tree,
The Leaf sprang upward free.
And heard with pride aloft
Soft voices, blandly stirred.
Murmur There goes Bird
Word dreamed of-sighed for ofti
Then down from its briefheight,
Down from the air and light.
Far from its sheltering Tree
The Leaf was cast. All day
In feverish dust it lay.
And torn with misery.
And when the calm night came,
Lit with the stars white flame,
Like leaves stirred in the sky,o
The Leaf could only dram:
How sweet my Tree would seem."
And in the dreaming-die.

LONDON CADGERS.

| A Glass OF ''Laborers' Who Have Nevez
Been Known to Work.
Rise early and watch the crowd al
the St. Katherine or the West and
East India gates The bell rings, the
gate opens. and the struggling mass
surge into the docks. The foremen
and contractors stand behind the chain
or in the wooden boxes. The ''ticket
men" pass through. and those con.
stantly preferred are taken on without
dispute. Then the struggle for the
last tickets. To watch it one would
think It was life and death to those
concerned. But Jack. having secured
ticket by savage fight ssils 1t to
needier Tom for twopence. and goes
off with the coppers to drink or to
gamble. Or, if the flush of business
forces the employers to ''clear the
gates" many of those who on slack
morning would be most desperate in
their demand for work will ''book
off" after they have earned suf-
ficient for pint of beer and pipe Of
tobacco and nights lodging. Or
take day which offers no employ
ment-watch the crowd as it disperses
The honest worker, not rs yet attracted
by the fascin ations of East End social
life, will return to his home with a
heavy heart. There he will mind the
baby. while his wife seeks work; or. if
not entirely hopeless. he trudges
YEARLY along the streets searching in
vain for permanent work. But the
greater part of the crowd will lounge
down the waterside and stand outside
the wharf and dock gates. As the dav
draws on, the more respectable ee-
ment will disappear. while its place
will be taken by the professional
''cadger' and dock loungcr A gen.
tleman who has lived and worked in
this district twenty-three years esti-
mates the number at two thousand.
These men would work ut no price.
They gain their livelihood by petty
theft. by cadging the earnings
of their working friends. through
gambling or drink. and by
charitable assistance. From all ac-
counts 1 very much fear that these
are the recipients of the free break
fasts with which the well-to-do West
End in times of social panic soothes
its own conscience and Gains its owr
fears. But, apart from this semi.
criminal class, the staple of the dock
and waterside population subsistinG
by means of the extreme 1uctuation
and irregularity of employment is
made up of those who are either men,
tally or physically unfit for worthful
and persistent work. These men
hang about for the ''odd hour" OF
work one day in the seven. They live
on stimulants and tobacco. varied
with bread and tea and salt fish.
Their passion is gambling. Sections
of them are hereditary casuals;
larger portion drift from the co untry.
They have a constitutional hatre Il to
and forethought. and a
need for paltry excitement They
are late risers, sharp-witted takers,
and, above all, they have that agreea-
BILE tolerance for their own and each
others vices which seems characteris-
tic of pu rely leisure class. whether
it lies at the top or the bottom of So
ciety. -NIneteenh Century.

Mutton for Farmers Use =.

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that the farmer who does it
can ut almost any season have fresh
meat for the table when lie likes.
Next to poultry it is the standby for
sudden emergencies when there is not
time, nor perhaps the money. TO buy
fresh beef in the city market. Farm
ers who keep sheep can accommodate
each other by exchanging. so that each
may have a half or quarter for use
while it can be kept fresh. With ice
and refrigerator in the cellar meat
may be kept week or more even in
warm weather. These are old-fnsh-
ioned methods; but they are a part Of
the farmers privileges. and happy are
those so situated that they can still live
up to them. Paml Pioneer-Press.

Sebastian WO.f, al Austrian, has
patented a process for getting a thread
that can be spun and bleached from
wood which is cut in long lengths and
boiled till it will cleave apart in fibrous
punches by shaking in water. 1t is
then shredded by hand or by ma
chinery, and spun like hemp. This
gives very fine thread. and less boil
ing gives q cOarser one.

be IN no inaudible whispers. The lib
erty that allows such ruffians as Most
Spies to sow their sentiments must be
done away with and they must be
taught to respect our laws and institu-
tions, without the necessity of convict
ion and execution. The agitation of
the labor movement arises from this
class. No strikes that we have heard
of have been started and carried out by
native born workmen. They have

The Benhayon mystery is as far as
ever from solution. The theories of
murder and suicide have almost equal.
ly balanced facts, with the slight ma.
iority Of theorists inclined TO believe
that the man was murdered, but with
the probabilities leaning towards sui.
eide in the opinion of those who are
not biased by former conviction that
Doctor Bowers murdered his wife.
IL is almost impossible to believe
that man confined in prison where
every action is observed and where all
with whom he communicates can be
easily watched, could persuade another,
not even one of the criminal classes, to
take on himself the risk of a crime
such as the murder of Benhayon.
That is really the greatest obstcle to
be overcome by those who contend
that Benhayon was murdered to enable
Bowersto escape. All the strong cir
cumstances attending the tragedy may
be accounted for by the arrangement
of mind of one contemplating suicide.
There may have been enough method
in his madness to enable HIM to sue
cessfully simulate sanity, thus making
the conduct of his last hours seem un.
accountable and giving color to the
picture of murder, but there must have
been inducements more powerful than
bankrupt prisoner could offer to
drive prosperous cheerful fellow
such as Dimingis represented to be to
the commission of deed almost gro
tesque in its hideousness if the theory
Of murder is correct. In any event
there will be sufficient DOUBT to save
the neck of Bowers.

The harmless heroes who try to edit
the Mugwump newspaper are still
exercised over the Carson scandal
Their judgment may be questioned
but they have demonstrated their
moral courage by an inferential de-
fense of those who uphold the seduct.
ion of young girls.
Mrs. Partington began life in a
burst of personal abuse, but has Con-
cluded to disclaim any further interest
in the original policy. Under the
deputy mugwump she thinks she will
enjoy prosperity and achieve fame by
convioling all those whom she dislikes

immortality, which might possibly
interfere with the amusement Of some

THE CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS,

Alta: The Federal Supreme Court
denies the writ of error applied for by
the distinguished array of counsel
employed by the condemned Anarch-
lists of Chicago. The sentence passed
by Judge Gary and affirmed by the
Supreme Court of Illinois stands,
therefore, and the seven men held by
law responsible for the carnage Of
Haymarket Square must hang. They
were the means Of killing seven pc.
litemen and previously wounding
sixty others. They have never pro-
fessed repentance for their crime
They have never deprecated such
crimes as a .meana Of bringing on that
social revolution of which they were
the evangelists. In this country and
In many other countries associations
of men of like blunted iustinctss have
prayed and threatened 10 secure for
them mercy, but in no single instance
have their allies professed any exc
Grafton of the crime for which the
seven arc to suffer. On the contrary
every petition for mercy has been
accompanied by endorsement and
glorifcaton of that caime, and usually
by threat that it will be repeated on
q holder and bloodier scale. Regard.
ing the seven condemned men as hos.
tages of the law, the Communists of
of the whole world, speaking 1. variety
of tongues that make Babel of their
councils, have never at any time PROM
Used that If these brethren were de-
livered they would cease to war upon
society with bombs and dynamite. II
has been for months apparent, there,
fore, that these singular wretches,
these wolves gone rabid, would hail
any clemency as evidence of their
power and the laws cowardice. They
have no human feelings. They care
no more for the seven wretches who
are to stretch seven ropes than for the
seven victims whom they killed. What
they do care for is to make of their
death or their reprieve q means Of
1ousing italty of their dupes. The
law of the country has pronounced its
judgments and they must be executed,
II Cook county cannot carry them out
the State of Illinois will try, and if
she State fail, the whole power of the

thize with them, and all such will do

their going, but go at once to some
land that likes them better or will
tolerate them more patiently.
These seven murdefers do not rep
resent any good cause. They profess
no principle that is Of the slightest
benefit to humanity. They might
carry out all they process, and 40 hun
den would be lighter, no life brighter
